Product Overview

The Sony IMX492LLJ-C offers high-resolution monochrome imaging with 47.08 MP and low power consumption.

The Sony IMX492LLJ-C is a high-resolution CMOS image sensor designed for demanding applications such as surveillance, factory automation (FA) cameras, and industrial imaging systems. With a large diagonal size of 23.1 mm (Type 1.4) and a remarkable resolution of 47.08 megapixels, this sensor delivers highly detailed monochrome images, making it ideal for scenarios that require high-definition image capture.

The IMX492LLJ-C features a square pixel array with 8336 x 5648 effective pixels, and each pixel is 2.315 x 2.315 µm in size. This enables the sensor to capture intricate details in large-format imaging, providing excellent clarity and precision. With a 12-bit digital output, the IMX492LLJ-C can produce high-definition signals, making it a top choice for moving picture applications where maintaining image quality is essential.

The sensor's performance is further enhanced by its high sensitivity and low dark current, ensuring clear images even in low-light conditions. It also features an electronic shutter with a variable storage time, allowing for flexible image capture across different lighting environments. These attributes make the IMX492LLJ-C well-suited for applications like high-precision machine vision, inspection systems, and monitoring in challenging conditions.

Power efficiency is a key aspect of the IMX492LLJ-C. It operates with three different power supply voltages: 2.9 V for analog circuits, 1.2 V for digital circuits, and 1.8 V for I/O interfaces, ensuring low power consumption while delivering high performance. This makes it a suitable sensor for systems that require continuous operation, such as industrial surveillance and automation systems.

  • 47.08 MP resolution with 8336 x 5648 pixel array
  • Monochrome sensor with high sensitivity and low dark current
  • 12-bit digital output for high-definition moving pictures
  • Electronic shutter with variable storage time
  • Operates at 24.17 frames per second (fps)
  • Low power consumption with multi-voltage operation (analog 2.9 V, digital 1.2 V, and 1.8 V for I/O)

The IMX492LLJ-C is designed with a LGA (Ceramic) 248-pin package and supports both SLVS-EC and MIPI interfaces, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of imaging systems. Its combination of high resolution, power efficiency, and flexibility makes it an excellent solution for industrial applications where high image quality and precision are critical.
